I was declared dead in an ER at a Bozeman Montana Hospital some 14 years ago. Because of the shaman spirit that was inside me, I was able to come back to life on my own. Very much surprising an ER doctor. I was brought back for a reason, I had a job to do. That job was to be a healer, a dream traveler, a seeir of visions, and a teacher of the old ways. The writing of my books is very much linked to the teaching aspect of my being a Shaman. I am a carry over soul, my training to be a shaman had been done in another life, one before this one. I instinctivly know how to do many types of healings. I've been told by other shaman my methods are the ones used before the Whiteman came to our land. My methods are old but so succesful. I go to pow wows and ceremonies each year, being called on to do healings at most. I have a close link with the Nez Perce. I participate as an Elder in many of their ceremonies. My Cherokee Brothers are a long way from Montana. Had I been a Nez Perce before?
